Tethered
Shooting
A useful feature for studio photographers is
the ability to shoot tethered. This means that
your camera is hooked up to your computer,
and as you press the Shutter Release button,
Aperture automatically downloads each
image and adds it to a project. Then, you can
quickly check the image's overall exposure or
zoom in to check your focus. Clients also like
tethered shooting, as they can quickly see
what you're shooting on a large display and
provide feedback as to what, if any, changes
they want.

will be managed or referenced, how they'll
be named, what metadata preset is applied,
whether they're backed up, and what
10.7 The Tether Settings dialog lets you control
the import options for your tethering session.
